| The new Rogue pharaoh II slams My advice with LEGITIMATE new technologies and designs from REPUTABLE companies that have a lot of backing in terms of R&D dollars spent is never say never and take all opinions with a few grains of salt. FWIW my local favorite dealer, who ha... | |
| the cart or the horse? Replace amp and pre with an integrated. Need not be big. Something like Unity Atom, NAD M10, Rogue Sphinx (for a touch of tube magic) or BEl Canto C5i. For all tubes any Rogue integrated. For something very small but good sounding, a Glow Amp 1 i... | |
| About users with hidden agendas No, not maybe. .... Never a good idea to assume you know what is happening in OTHER peoples lives. | |
| The new Rogue pharaoh II slams Pharoah is the real deal. Easy downsizing choice. | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time They should just call it “foot tapping”. At least you know that when you you see it. | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? The only thing for sure is a lot money (the difference). The rest all depends. | |
| Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice I’d keep the KEFs or maybe upgrade to metas and feed it with a quality modern amp Like a Bel Canto c5i if it were me but….. For more vintage I’d go with the heresy 3 or IV or a pair of Ohm Microwalsh depending which way one rolls sound wise. | |

Out with the old and in with the new? That time may b... | |
| GO CHIEFS !! Raven’s fan here. Still gotta root for the long time oppressed ie Cincinnati Bengals. Will try to ignore any insufferable Bengals fans. Football makes people go nuts sometimes. Go figure! | |
| About users with hidden agendas Enough of the "haters" references. We are all sick of it here. If someone draws consistent ire from many others best they take a look in the mirror. Period. If one feels hated and actually cares about it, then do something about it. It will pr... | |
| Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps Use any good quality power cord and they will sound fine. The stock BC cords are not esoteric but work fine. Those are what I use. Assuming these are Class D amps ie very efficient and do not draw a lot of current except at power up if like mine. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Just do it! 😉 | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good Jack The Toad - Savoy Brown | |
| How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear? Agree on massed strings being an ultimate hifi litmus test. |
